We  left  the  Sound  of  Mull,  in  the  Maid 
of  Morven,  to  visit  Staffa,  and  reach  Iona 
in  due  time  ; but  a strong  wind  and  head 
sea  prevented  us  making  Staffa  until  too 
late  to  go  on  to  Iona.  After  scrambling 
over  the  rocks  on  the  lee  side  of  the  is- 
land, some  got  into  Fingal’s  Cave,  others 
would  not.  It  is  not  very  pleasant  or  safe 
when  the  wave  rolls  right  in.  One  hour 
was  given  to  meet  on  the  rock  we  landed 
on.  When  on  board,  the  Captain  de- 
clared it  doubtful  about  Iona.  Such  a 
rainy  and  bad-looking  night  coming  on, 
a vote  was  proposed  to  the  passengers : 

Mona  at  all  hazards,  or  back  to  Tober- 
moray.’  Majority  against  proceeding. 

To  allay  the  displeased,  the  Captain  prom- 
ised to  steam  thrice  round  the  island  in

the  horizon,  burst  through  the  rain-cloud, 
angry,  and  for  wind ; and  so  it  proved,  for 
we  were  driven  for  shelter  into  Loch  Ulver, 
and  did  not  get  back  to  Tobermoray  be- 
fore midnight.’^  — J,  M,  W,  Turner  to 
Ja7nes  Lenox ^ August  i6,  1845. 

Nor  of  a theme  less  solemn  tells 

That  mighty  surge  that  ebbs  and  swells. 

And  still,  between  each  awful  pause. 

From  the  high  vault  an  answer  draws.

Irving,  at  the  request  of  the  artist,  with 
whom  he  was  on  terms  of  great  intimacy  : 

‘^Frostie  Age,  frostie  Age, 

Vain  all  your  learning  ! 

Drowsie  page,  drowsie  page 
Evermore  turning  !

Young  Heart ’s  a reckless  rover; 

Young  beautie,  while  you  read. 

Sleeping  dreams  of  absent  lover.
